Ready to start your lingerie-making journey? Begin with the hellebore hi-cut panties

Are you satisfied with what’s in your underwear drawer?

​For years I grumbled every time I had to buy new panties, because I never found anything I really liked.

The fabric is too scratchy, the elastic is too tight, the gusset is far too short to be effective.

​I felt like Goldilocks trying to find a brand and style that fit all my needs and didn’t break the bank.

What if you could make your own panties, designed for comfort and feminine style, with knit fabrics you probably already have in your stash?

My newest pattern, the Hellebore Hi-Cut is a classic high-cut, French leg style that can be made from a wide variety of knit fabrics.  All you need is some knit fabric with at least 40% stretch and a sewing machine that can sew straight and zig zag stitches. This pattern has finishing options for fabric bands and binding, so no special trims are required!

What about the size range? This pattern is sized to fit: waist 26-50” / 66-127cm, hip 35-60” / 89-152cm.  I choose pattern testers in all sizes across my range to make sure the pattern is a good fit for a variety of body types.

​Don’t say I didn’t warn you, sewing your own lingerie is addictive! 

​You can cut and sew a pair of these panties in under an hour, and soon enough you’ll replace all the ratty old undies stuffed into the back of your drawer.

You can find the Hellebore Hi-Cut panty pattern in my pattern store.
